Both Angelina's father, Jon Voight, and her brother James attended the premiere of World War Z in the Big Apple.

The pair no doubt acted as some much-needed company for Brad who has been jetting all around the world promoting the zombie film in the last few weeks.

Mother-of-six Angelina joined her man at the London, Paris and Berlin premieres but has since been busy with her own commitments as well as trying to take it easy following the double masectomy she underwent in April.

Described as "heroic" by the 'Fight Club' star, Angelina chose to have the operation after discovering that she carried the BRCA-1 mutation gene.

However, one person who doesn't believed she is brave is singer/songwriter Melissa Etherridge.

"I wouldn’t call it the brave choice. I actually think it’s the most fearful choice you can make when confronting anything with cancer," she said, after suffering from breast cancer herself back in 2005.

Upon learning about what Melissa had said, Brad told told extratv.com: "Oh, I didn’t know, I haven’t seen her…Melissa is an old friend of mine, so I’ll have to give her a call," before adding that he wasn't aware of her views before.
